Once again the committee would like to thank you all for your contributions and votes this year. Without all of you this wouldn't happen. Commiserations to anyone who didn't make this years list but as you can see the competition was fierce. You may want to consider trying harder for next year.

Peace out - FECPOTY Committee.

There's still a week left of 2021 - premature as always...

With covid restrictions 2022 has already closed. Results will be published mid year.

Did Jim actually get his Disco Sport? I thought it had been delayed so would have to be competing next year.

Still, happy with 10th equal

Scotta - the Michael Masi of the OV9 forum!

I am pleasantly surprised to have made the list.

I would like to personally thank everyone who voted for me. It won’t take long

And FWIW, my Galaxie is also 1 of 6, they only made six RHD Galaxies for the UK market.

That's a good line up, feels like many of them were last year for me!

That’s omicron effect

We need a separate award for best interior

If you submit that to the committee then we can look at it for 2024.

Surely my interior would be king, not many interiors are 95% living organic matter?

I thought dogging is supposed to happen outside the car?

A fair list. Well done the winners

I’d like to thank my friends and family but mainly my friends at Oracle Finance for facilitating the irresponsible lending that allowed this to happen.

In other news I crashed the car into a wall at Spa last month. I was a bit shy about posting in case it affected resale value once repaired, but if you all promise not to comment too much and we keep it to a wee corner in this thread I’m sure it will be fine

Hmm, looks like a right Scottish fix up

The Pantera takes spots 1-5 for me, with Mattys 4C, revs Mac, SJs Galaxie and Rich's M2 in 6-9
